Are you a caring and passionate qualified Teaching Assistant? Do you want to work as part of a vibrant school community, where you will have the chance to make a meaningful impact, surrounded by superb pupils, supportive parents, and a collaborative team who want the best for everyone? Then join our fantastic team at Longwell Green (an extremely popular school, achieved very well in OFSTED and is held in high regard in the community and the county) to support an individual pupil with school based anxiety who is in Year Five. (Matrix Funded - 32.5hrs) The child is kind, caring, very well behaved, and has strong friendships. They are eager to learn and will benefit from tailored, consistent approaches to reduce their anxiety over the long term. The child experiences school based anxiety, particularly during transition from home to school, which affects their ability to access their education. They require support and strategies to manage their anxiety and engage successfully with learning. They respond well to support, praise, and a personalised approach, which will help them overcome their challenges and make strong progress. With focused help during transitions and in class support, they will be able to engage fully, which is something the child is keen to do. We have an excellent relationship with the family, and we have all seen significant progress already in the child’s wellbeing. We are committed to continuing this successful approach to support this lovely child. We are looking for a colleague who: • Is an excellent practitioner and team player, • Has high expectations for all pupils and is committed to raising attainment and progress, • Has a record of good/outstanding practice in a primary setting, • Has the ability to raise the attainment of pupils under their charge, meeting individual needs through exciting and innovative teaching methods, • Has excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to work independently and as part of a team. • Is able to work well as part of a team, • Is enthusiastic to contribute to the wider life of the school. Experience of working with a child in a one to one situation could be an advantage, as could working with a child with retention difficulties We can offer you: • A happy school with a great team of staff where people enjoy coming to work, • A passionate, enthusiastic and talented team to work alongside. • Happy, kind and engaged pupils who are well behaved and love to learn, • A governing board that is experienced, proactive and supportive, • Supportive parents and carers who want their children to succeed and are eager to engage with School, • A welcoming and inclusive school with care and moral values at its core and where and every person is valued, • The chance to work closely with partners such as The Phoenix Hub group of schools and Bath Spa and UWE Universities amongst other links.
